Charleroi Airport Brussels South (CRL) to Koekelare

The drive from Charleroi to Koekelare

Koekelare lies 166 km (104 miles) from Charleroi Airport Brussels South, and the drive typically takes 1 h 50 m. The route crosses Belgium from the south to the north-west, so most of the journey is on motorway before the final stretch on local roads into West Flanders. This is a less frequently booked route, but it is available on request like any other transfer.

Allow extra time if you travel during the morning or evening rush, when the roads around Brussels and Ghent are often busy, or on summer weekends, when traffic towards the coast builds up. If you have a connection or appointment after arrival, add a comfortable buffer to the standard driving time.

Choosing the right vehicle

For small parties, a private taxi is available for 1-3 or 1-4 passengers, which suits couples, families and travellers with several suitcases. Groups can choose from private minibuses with 8, 16, 24, 32, 40, 48, 56 or 64 seats. This makes the route workable for wedding parties, sports clubs, school trips and company outings as well as individual travellers. Tell us your group size and luggage when you book so that we can match the vehicle to your party.
